Ondo State Police Commissioner, Gbenga Adeyanju has insisted his men did not shoot any of the protesting students of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba contrary to reports on the social media.

Adeyanju made this known while speaking with newsmen at the Governor’s office in Akure.

News had gone round on Monday that policemen on the order of the CP shot at the students who were having a peaceful protest.

The students were protesting hike in their school fees from the range of N23,000 and N27,000 to between N120,000 and N200,000.

“To the glory of God, with the cooperation of my Command and the good people of Ondo State, we have managed the crisis very well. If anyone was shot as claimed by the students, you Journalists who are closer to the public would have confirmed it.

“I was there personally and even the whole Command closed since the start of this protest, so as to put the situation under control. Nobody was shot and no one was injured,” Adeyanju said.

The police boss also said his men resorted to the use of tear gas in dispersing the students because it’s least they could have done in quelling the protest.

“Naturally, it is” Minimum Force”. I claim the responsibility. I ordered that tear gas should be used to disperse them, I gave the instruction.

“There was a pregnant woman who was on her way to the hospital to deliver a baby, she was bleeding profusely and she was blocked from moving on and we had to clear the road to enable her get to the hospital before it’s too late.

“People who are coming from the bank and those going into the bank were prevented from doing so and as security officers, it behoves on us to clear the road for them, hence the need for the minimum force. I claim the responsibility,” he said.

Adeyanju further asked residents of Akure to go about their normal duties without any fear, as the police is up to the task to forestall breakdown of law and order.

Protests by students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko on the third day got a massive solidarity from market women in Akure, the Ondo state capital.

The peaceful protest saw students rally from Cathedral junction, marching through Oba Adesida road, Bishop Fagun road, first bank axis, government house, NEPA, Arakale and climaxed it behind the palace of the Deji of Akure.

The students who were in their hundreds asked the State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu to reverse the hike in the face of prevailing financial challenges in the country.

The governing council had announced an increase in the school fees of students in the university from the range of N23,000 and N27,000 to N120,000 and N200,000.

Speaking with 9JATUTOR, Olawale Ijanusi, Student Union President of AAUA said the students will not relent until the government listens to their demands.

“Today is the continuation of yesterday, and after today, there will still be the continuation of today which is tomorrow. But then, the reason while we are still here, is because of the increment of schools fees in Ondo state, especially Adekunle Ajasin University. We want the state government to be reasonable, we want them to still bring down the hike, as we cannot afford it.

“As you can see, even the crowd that we have today is greater than that of yesterday, and the market women they are solidarising with us now. By tomorrow, they will come out in masse, they will join us and we will have a success in forcing this government in doing the needful.

“The market women after showing solidarity with us all through the protest also protested with leaves to the Deji of Akure’s palace and have vowed to shut all markets tomorrow.This is a fight to finish battle for us” He said

9JATUTOR, however, have it on good authority that Governor Akeredolu who has not been in town since the process started has returned to the state.

Our source who pleaded not to be named, because he is not authorized to speak with the press on the matter said, the governor will meet with the student leaders this evening following the embarrassment the protests have caused for his government.

The Ondo State House of Assembly has declared that the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, is acting alone on the recent 500 per cent increase in tuition fees for the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA).

This is even as the students of the institution thronged the streets of Akure, the state capital, on Monday to protest the hike by the state government.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Fatai Olotu, who spoke on behalf of the assembly, told journalists in Akure that the action of the state government was at variance with the submissions made at the meeting with the management of the institution.

He berated the school’s management for not being sincere with information given to the leadership of the house at the stakeholders meeting where the Pro-Chancellor said everybody’s interest would be considered.

“The Ondo State House of Assembly will not be part of a policy or decision that would bring untold hardship on the people of the state,” he said.

The assembly called on the state government and the management of AAUA to review the decision to hike the school fees in the interest of the people and in keeping with the tenets of democratic practice.

The house rejected the schedule of fees, arguing that it was on the high side, considering the current economic hardship prevailing across the country.

Students of the institution, however, took their grievances to the streets on Monday and called on the state government to reverse the increases.

The protesting students marched through the popular Oba Adesida Road to Alagbaka in Akure, hampering the flow of traffic through the city.

They wielded placards bearing various inscriptions and chanted solidarity songs.

The students said the 500 per cent increase in their school fees was unacceptable as their parents would not be able to pay.

The students were also joined by their colleagues from other institutions who were mobilised into the state to show solidarity over the hike in the tuition fee.

They threatened dire consequences against the government if it failed to reverse the increase.

The new schedule of fees shows an increase from N25,000 to between N120,000 and N200,000.

The President of the Student Union Government, Olawale Ijanusi, said the protesting students were out to kick against the “astronomic hike” in the tuition by the government.

He described the new fees as outrageous and unacceptable to the students.

“We have directed all our students not to pay the new fees as the increment is too exorbitant to bear, and anyone who pays does that on his own,” Mr. Ijanusi said.
